Legal Oversight of Innovation

Elective

Credits: 1

This course offers students an opportunity to look
closely at the process of innovation and technological development in the
United States. Throughout the course students will be given the opportunity to
place innovation in the context of law and regulation by considering how areas
such as products liability, business financing, securities regulation, and
otherwise apparently disparate areas of the law can affect development of new
ideas and new technologies. This course will include both law students and
students from the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering, and thus will
allow for interaction of law students with technical students, providing great
breadth to the understanding students will gain from taking this course. The
course is offered on a pass/fail basis only.
